This instrument drift could have resulted in the failure of the instrument to trip at three timcs the normal full power radiation level in the main steam line tunnel as required by Technical Specifications Appendix A, Table 3.2-1.

Both instruments in the reduncant safety system channel (17-RM-251A and 17-RM-251C) in addition to the second instrument in the same safety system channel '

7-RM-251B) were operabic. Therefore, the event did not represent a significant h, d to the public health and safety.

The instrument was immediately calibrated and tested wit? satisfactory restits utilizing F-ISP-54-1.
